PETTY BICKERINGS The quiet little squabble that is going on between the political parties, while thousands of Canadians are either overseas or preparing to go overseas is, to say the least, most undignified. Arguments used as to why Rt Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King is unfit to continue in office and why Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion should not take his place are extremely petty. Putting political bias to one side, we all; know that' the present Prime Minister is the man for the! job. He has sacrificed his own inclinations for the British ! fcmpirp and then, some pettifogging politicians come along ?H Z SSiSX and try t0 hint that he was not loval to the EmjHnfojfrter of a century ago. Even if he was! not, neither was General Smuts. What has that to do with today .' It makes-one sick to listen very to some of the arguments on both sides. 1 We suggest that we forget all the petty stuff and keep1 arguments toned up to a wartime plane. The fate of the; British Empire is at stake in the conflict overseas and it does not heln the Emnirp tn hnvA nottr riit,,,;.,., in nettv bickering a kuMi q f imo wi,,. f u " able in our political arguments as in the other business of everyway me : TKST OK NOBLENESS We hear a lot of talk about nobleness. There is nobleness of soul, nobleness of spirit, nobleness of stature, nobleness of character. If these words mean anything at all, they were e.ibited by the women of Finland prior to the peace. The Finnish women stood nobly by their men in carrying on. With shells bursting about them, trying to protect their children, they never lost faith in their cause and in the courage of the menfolk. It was a wonderful test and they stood it nobly. In Finland during the war the Salvation Army had1 ninety relief depots and some of them were bombed. However, that did not discoiimo-p-thp Ralvat; there expecting that sort of thing. The windows of the headquarters were blown out by bombbut that did not interfere with their work. Even yet they have much work to do in helping the homeless people of the war region to get re-established. 50 IN THE WAR AIMS As it is difficult to keep petty people from drawing us away from the main aim in the -present political fight, so, it is difficult to keep the Germans from drawing peoole- awav from thp mnin rmisp nf wn TVio oc 4t, a 11: I v . . - " 11 vuoi. luc .njiieci has to be stated again and again. The war is being fought to protect veaker nations from aggression. The rape of Poland was the immediate cause of the war starting but we are fighting iust as much for Finland, for Norway and Sweden and Holland and Beltnum, for Roumania and Bulgaria and Switzerland. All these nations live in fear and u emoiing. J Jiey never know a day but what some strong-er nation may march across the border and kill and burn. Asia is not any more safe than Europe. The -world seems to have dropped back centuries in its aims and ideals. Even some of the neutral countries think of nothing except to try to escape by staying away from the scene of conflict There is no real unified effort in Wppn iha i..,.u ,iM - i' ,fc.i- iruuu uiCjJU, Our whole trend of thought has been perverted by the race' for wealth, power or ease.
